Amen... If thats the reason for all the secrecy, I support it!

There are so many problems with this post I am quoting from, that I don't intend to get to all of them. The root of the problem is the same, however. Lets start here. What is "the law of Christ"? It actually is listed in the Bible, as are his commandments. Plainly listed. This is a long...

There is on critical error here. Two, actually... But they are one in the same. First, James was writing to the 12 scattered tribes of Israel. I know you have a debate going on about this with others... I haven't been interested. But it is a key point. The reason why is that James was...

In a sense, I agree with you. All major religions have a standard of moral good and evil. Buddhists, Muslims, Jews and Christians all agree that stealing is wrong and caring for the poor is right. And by no means do I condone such behavior. Christianity was born out of Judaism so the Law...

Ahhh... A mathematician! Ok... I have a great love of math without much understanding of it. I was always a poor student, but one day I contemplated math before a post college exam for a job. Its all pure logic and nothing to be feared! I got a 98% on my exam! Math is the only pure science...

Well, I was hoping you would correct the error yourself. I pointed out what you did wrong: I stated you partially quoted the verse and left out context. Here is what you said: Here is what it really says: Ephesians 5:18 KJV And be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess; but be filled with...

No. It not on a legalistic level. But what is wrong with saying its a stupid thing to do and at some time its going to cut your walk in Christ short? Maybe God ordained you to live 90 years but because you smoked you died at 75 years and the last 10 years were so filled with health issues...

You are STILL doing it! If you are going to preach the WORD, preach it as it says! But you have already admitted context isn't important and full scripture isn't important. The sad thing is that you could've STILL made your point by preaching it right. You still have a problem, but I can't...

Amadeus, Marks, Enoch111... I too wonder what he's getting at. But think about for a second. What does literal bread have to do with grace? Does spiritual bread have anything to do with grace? Well, I can work with that as Jesus said "this is my body" when showing bread. I can wind...

I think I understand what you are saying. I absolutely agree that people are still protesting the Catholic Church. Absolutely this thread is evidence. Did I suggest otherwise?

Yes it is a splintering, but I don't feel I am wrong about calling it a controversy. Would you tell me it isn't controversial? If so, why is this thread going on? Yes... In a broad sense, as the definition implies. But relax... I wasn't being all that serious about that answer to begin...

Going off this definition, an independent Church (which is one I attend) would not NECESSARILY be a Protestant Church because it is not part of a denomination. Is it a denomination itself? Not according to Webster's definition of a denomination: ": a religious organization whose congregations...

Really? I presented the definition of "the destroyer", and showed that it was the Lord who smote the firstborn. An angel is mentioned 6 times in Exodus but no where even close to the killing of the firstborn. Now, "the destroyer" here is an adjective. IF an angel was ever mentioned, then...

No where in this verse or any other is this destroyer called an angel. In fact, its not even a carnal or spiritual being. Perhaps you should look up the Hebrew meaning of the word. Here's the definition: שָׁחַת shâchath, shaw-khath'; a primitive root; to decay, i.e. (causatively) ruin...

Well Enoch, there is no OT angel of death either. Furthermore, it wasn't an angel that killed the firstborn.

Its really hard to take you seriously when you say, "there is no context nor full scripture needed" right after you partially quoted a scripture AND missed the true meaning of the passage.

LOL!!!! I will have to remember that one... And it reminds me that I have left over tilapia in my fridge!

I want to review the from Luke: Luke 18:10-11,13-14 KJV Two men went up into the temple to pray; the one a Pharisee, and the other a publican. [11] The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, God, I thank thee, that I am not as other men are, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even as...

Yeah... Good call! I was wondering if anyone would bring that up! Haggai 2:8 KJV The silver is mine, and the gold is mine, saith the Lord of hosts.

I got burned! I figured the market would continue to slide and sold a good portion before the bell. I didn't sell all of any stock I like, but cut them down significantly. Problem is... I picked the wrong ones! About 15% of my portfolio is in NDVA. Over the last month they've been killing...
